LOL It just shows how much we need our fix!! I’m doing the same……:P
Wonder if we could get a status bar for the game ala MS…the colours etc…
Are you on IE, Thiago?
Please break “First Ruby Soccer dimension. Your feedback is very important to help us improve the game and fix any problems you find, including ways of cheating. This dimension will certainly be reset / erased after a testing period, when structural changes become necessary.” into multiple lines.
the way it’s right now, it’s user-unfriendly to a ‘regular’ screen resolution. (makes us use the left-right rolling bar)
I must say i missed this constant refresh to the main page to check wether or not it had already ticked. ;)
No, it sent me to the player’s profile as if i was watching any non-listed player, just his stats, team, wages, etc.
Well, it’s like an email, why not have it :-)
I know, sometimes it’s just useless…
I was thinking about that yesterday, I didn’t remember if we added that to any screen. Now I have the answer :-)
Doesn’t the player profile had a link for you to buy him? Could you make an offer this way at least?
Good point Charles, I guess we shouldn’t allow that, even though it won’t cause any problems, the player will stick with the best offer anyway.
think he mentioned he was using a work laptop that wouldn’t allow him to install FF……8-)
remember that in future we will tweak the entire site for IE, but right now we cant guarantee anything to work on IE. in fact , things are pretty messed up on it (alignments, formation screen…). Northstar, anything against FF?
ahhh yeah- the colours do need to be tweaked- very difficult to delineate between the boxes…
going to log in ising IE and see if I can help out
Im using IE 6. I can see the grey lines but its still dark and hard to see.
Still on the message thing, why do we need to have a subject? ;)
Just wondering what version of IE/Firefox you are using Northstar? I am using FF 2.0.0.6 and it works fine for me
I like the mentality bit of the formation screen. I think it offers something different. Could the positional changes you make however be seen without having to keep refreshing the page to see them? Lighter colours could also be good because at present everything is rather dark.
If you offer two different contracts to the same player, both your offers will be displayed on the players info page.
Is that intended?
Is it only possible to have one ongoing negotiation at the same time?
I offered a contract to one player, kept searching and all i get whenever i press on another player’s “transfer” link is that player’s profile.
Not sure if this is a bug or if i just didn’t find where it was…
…i have an injured player and can’t seem to find how long he’ll be injured.
Cheers
We don’t jhave strategies except for those on the right (passing style, shooting distance, and so on).
Hi Ali,
There are no rankings yet, but your situation may be one of the worse. I’ll see what I can do to restore at least some of your matches.
Cheers.
yes, i have. note that i used dotted gray on the squares, because i wanted to the field to be the most visible element on the picture. i could use another color and make it VERY visible, but i wonder what would the users think about that.
Northstar, the idea here is: we tried to come up with something a little bit more flexible than managersim´s defensive/offensive formations. With our idea, each player can have a different off/def mentality! I think that is a very nice change. But if the experience shows me that I am wrong, we will not hesitate to re-design that screen.
Please note that we do not have formation strategies yet, and I think that this may be what is generating the whole confusion. Those will enable the manager to modify the formation on different situations (ball possession / no ball possession, for example) and etc.
Hello,
I had made a formation and then deleted it. Now my first div match is on turn 54… I know this is just a BETA version, but how will this affect the calculations for the ranking and the number of played games for the season?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Ali
it depends. what we can do is create links, inside the game, to a particular part of the forum (dedicated to dimension 1, for example).
and i dont know if i am really comfortable with an effort to make our game reflect the reality. I am much more comfortable with the idea of the players doing a good job with better balanced conditions at the beginning. later, the good job may reflect on better youths, better economy and who knows what else (maybe even country development).
or maybe i dont want to be constantly reminded that brazil´s economy sucks. :)
In a distant future maybe, we use a third party forum, no ideia how long it would take to have an in-game one :-)
As Danilo said, the league matches generation randomly decides if you’ll play home or away (of course you’ll always play against each team twice, one at home and one away), and in the average, the result is not that unbalanced. Even on MS sometimes I had 4 away matches in a row :-)
Cheers.
this was related to deleting created formations. everytime you deleted a formation, the matches were that formation was applied were also deleted (!!!!!!).
I agree Toni, as you said, we’ll find out how economy goes during Beta 1. To be honest, we did not test it intensively, so it may become unbalanced quickly.
The stadiums suggestion is interesting. Depending on our economy results we may use that or simply let everybody start with the same stadium size. First we have to figure out how stadium increasing will work.
